When I applied with Hyperion I didn't realize it was a separate application for managers, so combined the two for him and Bodhi. I chopped the movesets thinking it wasn't necessary at the time, but it's something that can be added again easily. See here for example, it makes things look a little less cluttered, and makes writing the character easy. Might be a good example to copy? I don;t believe there was a manager application when you joined up actually. I don't remember why exactly we changed it... could have been due to Slain needing a different app because he technically wasn't a wrestler lol... As for your example that's exactly what we need. I think that's got it settled - I would say the ruling is that if you change manager details and you don't update all the relevant information, don't be pissy when we write something wrong lol. Oh and I'd say to put in the "official" roster picture rather than the giant ones... nice as Bodhi's are to look at of course, giant pictures in applications always throw me off of finding whatever it is I'm looking for lol.

I don't know about a global application for 2 big reasons.
1) Feds do not share a picbase set. So technically someone in TGK could be Austin Aries even though in AWF that's Jackson Steele. (Though Mongo ... I'm still confused how this would work for us XHF legends since technically Shogun-Tron is not in a fed.) 2) Every fed has different needs for their particular style. What does TGK need to know about me. Does AWF need to have an RP sample? Does TIW care what my entrance theme is?
And yes this can cause confusion for global events .... but there's more than enough different images of most people to make some banners look good and not the same (well, most people, there is literally ONE image of Sentai Jin ...) and since most of the feds don't actually PLAY the music we use it really isn't a big deal.
As for a global LISTING of roster which includes maybe character name, image, current fed, theme, handler, and maybe finisher ... that would be interesting. If you just wanted a list with links and stuff that would be easy enough for a mod/admin to make as adding links/images is basic coding 101 in this board and really there are buttons for that in the posts.

Yeah, I'm in agreement with Dave here.

Yeah, like I mentioned in my big announcement; I'm much more of a fan of a big listing as opposed to a large-scale application process. I just figured its sort of a mammoth task to do so I figured we'd wait until there was enough interest or start with like tag teams or something.
Honestly, I was gonna try to kidnap you eventually Steele and get you to help me make a global listing for the XHF Archives applications because I was secretly planning on archiving the old applications too (and making them look like roster entries so readers would know who these people are).
I imagine the global listing would be similar. I was thinking very strongly about your old AWF Roster table style, with the simple square pictures linking to each person's in-fed app

I had a feeling you'd like that when I saw it!

Some good input from the “old timers” here on these ideas, I figured that a global applications forum might be useful to sort of “streamline” the process but like you say, not everybody is looking for the same info in an application.
Good point raised by Shogun regarding people who are on “legend” contracts rather than affiliated to any one fed, what happens with their PBs? Also, could Kuroi theoretically find his face used by another member in say AWF or would we say that since it’s one of us, only he can use his likeness?
I feel like a global Roster listing might be a bit too much work, my idea would see each fed keep their own rosters, just the applications would be central. It’s. It’s not impossible task by any means (though editing tables is a bitch on this site) but we should probably just have one or the other in terms of a global roster or individual rosters (same for applications, either do those at fed level or global level but not both)

Also one thing I wanted to tack on that I had forgotten to clarify: one of my reasons for suggesting a central application process is that if we want to do this centralised list of taken photobases (and maybe themes but they aren’t as important) then it would be a LOT easier for me (or whoever is editing the thread) to check one central location for new applications and put them into the thread rather than having to go round each fed and keep up to date, possibly missing a few here or there.
Of course this would require the applications to be left in the global applications forum (otherwise again they might get missed before they are moved, unless the fed head responsible updates the thread ASAP without botching the coding) and I don’t know whether that might end up becoming a bit messy.
I feel like a applications should probably be tied to the photobase thread - eiather have both at Fed level or both at global level, a mixture might get complicated

Yeah, that's why I was leery of pushing for anything too centralized, because stuff gets mixed up.
For legends I assume that they have neutral pic-bases until they commit to a fed (since EoD was a global show anyway). We've just gotten lucky so far that nobody has actually used a legend's pic base, lol
I think Kuroi would complain a lot of someone tried to use him as a pic base

I think the Global application is a great idea, but I am with Kira I think we need a separate application for managers My manager Levi Kosloff (Paul Heyman - PB) is his own character just not an active wrestler. the application makes it easier when someone needs to know about him for roleplays. But with the whole global application thing we need a list of everyone's pic base with having it global, we wouldn't want people using the same pic bases even if they are in separate feds because you never know when someone will jump feds
